Assertive Ways to Say No

  1. Firmly Decline:
    • “I’m sorry, but I have to decline.”
    • “Unfortunately, I can’t agree to that.”
  2. Set Boundaries:
    • “I have to say no to that request.”
    • “I need to prioritize other commitments.”
  3. Be Direct:
    • “I appreciate the offer, but I have to say no.”
    • “I’m unable to accommodate that.”

Remember, it’s important to be respectful but firm in your communication.
